Reference personnel in the North Carolina Collection at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill began indexing small reference copies of frequently requested images from the North Carolina Collection in the early 1970s. Over a period of approximately 15 years, the reference images were placed on index cards with information related to the origination and content of the original materials. The cards provided patrons and reference personnel of the North Carolina Collection with a quick way of finding relevant images. As the North Carolina Collection Photographic Archives grew and electronic access to collection information became more prevalent, this practice declined and the collection was no longer being added to by 1990.

The collection is a compilation of images and information from other collections in the North Carolina Collection Photographic Archives, the North Carolina Collection, and a few private collections not held in Wilson Library Special Collections. Each index card includes information about a copy negative made of a photograph or a printed item. Most cards also include a contact print of the image, the approximate date of the original, subject information, photographer or source of the image, and information related to the provenance of the original material.
